[Python Tool] Screengrabber for Linux / Windows / OS-X (probably)

[F1RMB]

Hi,

Here is a small python script to save screen capture to png file. It supports few parameters:

Code: Select all

Usage:
       gd-77_screen_grabber.py [OPTION]

    -h, --help                     : Display this help text
    -d, --device=<COM port>        : Use the specified device as serial port
    -s, --scale=v                  : Apply scale factor (1..x)
    -o, --output=<filename>        : Save the image in <filename>.png
    -f, --foreground=#RRGGBB       : Use specified color as foreground pixel color
    -b, --background=#RRGGBB       : Use specified color as background color

It works with python-2 and python-3. You need python-serial module.

Cheers.

Cool

BTW.

I've been discussing with Rafa EA3BIL to change the CPS to set the background colour to the same colour he uses in his diagrams and also rescale to 200% ( probably by pixel replication )

However, I've not had time to do this yet.

Hi Roger,

I can take a look at this, but tomorrow, it's pretty late here

I will also make the modifications to this script about default background color and default scale factor.

Cheers.

PS: but I still do hate python

Hi Daniel

No worries

I can easily do it in the CPS. I already set the background colour to grey, and I think scaling the image is not difficult.

I'm sure Python (yes i hate it) has functions to do the same things

[F1RMB]

Yes, it has it (already part of this script).

Hi,

I've updated the script in the first post. Default color is the same as EA3BIL used, default scale factor is 2.
It also works under Windows (you may need to install pillow, cimage and pyserial using pip.exe), default COM port is COM13.


Cheers.

Cool

I've not had time to change the CPS, because I've been bug fixing the Tone Scan PR

Hi Roger,

you have a PR for the CPS

Cheers.
